Oh, to live on sugar mountain With the barkers and the colored balloons You can't be twenty on sugar mountain Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon You're leaving there too soon
It's so noisy at the fair, but all your friends are there And the candy floss you had and your mother and your dad.
Oh, to live on sugar mountain With the barkers and the colored balloons You can't be twenty on sugar mountain Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon You're leaving there too soon
There's a girl just down the aisle, oh to turn and see her smile You can hear the words she wrote as you read the hidden note.
Oh, to live on sugar mountain With the barkers and the colored balloons You can't be twenty on sugar mountain Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon You're leaving there too soon
Now you're underneath the stairs, and you're giving back some glares To the people who you met, and it's your first cigarette.
Oh, to live on sugar mountain With the barkers and the colored balloons You can't be twenty on sugar mountain Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon You're leaving there too soon
Now you say you're leaving home, 'cause you want to be alone
Ain't it funny how you feel when you're finding out it's real.
Oh, to live on sugar mountain With the barkers and the colored balloons You can't be twenty on sugar mountain Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon You're leaving there too soon |
